1. ** Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland – Starting the day off
with a bang, we head straight to Wai-O-Tapu to view the eruption of the Lady
Knox Geyser before experiencing a fully guided tour of Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal

time to buy some lunch before receiving a Taupo highlights tour and learn
local interesting facts.

at Huka Falls, one of New Zealand’s most popular and beautiful waterfalls.

Zealand, Hamilton, explore the unexpected delights at Hamilton Gardens, where
